ABSTRACT
Background:
Brachial plexus injury is a severe peripheral nerve injury that affects the upper extremities and causes functional damage and disability. A detailed and accurate clinical examination is required to accurately localise the site of injury. This video manuscript aims to provide guidelines for the structured assessment of a patient with brachial plexus injury, specifically tailored to Malaysian medical students and trainees.Methods:
A video demonstrating the examination of the brachial plexus was made. This video, created at the School of Medical Sciences at Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), demonstrates the proper examination technique for brachial plexus.Conclusion:
We hope that this video will help students and young doctors evaluate patients with brachial plexus injury and reach accurate localisation of the injury.
